Captured at Winnipeg.

WINNIPEG. Jan. 30.-Another American
bank defaulter has been captured here.
The criminal is James Wilson Kehoe, who
is charged with having swindled the Ma
tional Shoe and Leather bank, of Newark.
n. j., out of about S15, 900 several months
ago. and with having committed forgery
and some other crimes. A few days ago a
local detectives suspicious were aroused by
the actions of flashily dressed individual
who put up at a fashionable hotel here,
registering as James Wilson. of Oil City,
Pa. The detective telegFaphed Pinkerton's
agency in Chicago if such a man giving
description and name). was wanted. An
answer was promptly received that
one James Wilson Kehoe was wanted
as a defaulter, 4 reward of So. 900
being offered for his apprehension. The
local detective approached Kehoe suddenly
while he was smoking in the hotel and.
slapping him on the shoulder. said: How
are you, Kehoe, old chap" Kehoe was
taken by surprise, and exclaimed: How in
heavens name do you know me?" The de-
tective invited him out and told him all. and
threatened to arrest him if he attempted to
go away. The detective then couimunica-
ted with Chicago, and in two or three days
Pinkertons detectives and bank official
arrived. Explanations followed and kehoe
consented to go quietly back believing he
could be eXtradited. He SAYS he had the
money hid. and can pay all but about SIS. 00C

News Notes of Interest 10 the People
Of the G. reat Territory.


The Valley City TimaS says that the lavish
and careless practice of the farmers in that
sect OH in burning their straw and chaff
leaves them badly in the lurch with their
stock. especially where the prairie fires have
burned some OF their hay stacks. They now
haul wheat straw long distances and feed it
TO their working teams. Cattle are being sold
at ruinously low prices on account of this
scarcity of feed. They will learn lesson of
prudence and foresight, and that the rougher
feed now so wastefuliy destroyed can be util-
lied 10 great profit. They have been in the
habit of destroying what would keep herds OF
stock in fine condition as used on Eastern
farms In Walworth and other counties of
that section the experience this winter has
convinced cattle growers that TO be success
flll good close shelter and ample fodder are
needed. The old theory that tame cattle
could rustic like the buffalo has been found
by costly experience to be unsafe and uhwise
The Yankton Press the organ OF the ex-
tre1pe division eminent, is willing to aban-
don all attempts to divide and WORK for adj
mission as whole if the legislature will pro-
vide for q square vote on this question next
fall That seems TO be pretty good evidence
that the Press really believes that majority
would favor division, but, in common with
many others, it is tired of the wrangle over
the subject and very eager for statehood. 1t
also desir es the legislature 10 provide at the
same time for two constitutional conventions
North and South-to combine into one in case
the people vote down division. The attempts
m initiate state machines in the ter ritory
have not so far proved remunerative, and it
,rorld seem to be expedient to let congress
heve chance at it. Let it be insisted that
statehood must be had, and the people must
determine the number of states.

running round the auditorium wall of the
foyer, and abuut ten feet from the floor
My attention was at once divided between
two groups in tine foyer. One consisted
of three persons. a man in full dress and
two women in fancy costumes.
ONE OF THE WOMEN HAD FALLEN
to the floor close to the auditorium wall,
and therefore directly under the narrow gal
lery to the mezzanine boxes. The man
was supporting her head, and the other
woman was tanning her pale face and
saying something in a half vexed. half
anxious tone about the desirability of hav-
ing water. The PROSTATE woman was
drunk. If she had been beSet with any
other malady have no doubt that out of
the throng of people of both sexes con-
stantly passing some one would have volun-
teered to get a glass of water, or, at all
events. to do something more than glance
carelessly at her and pass on without a
pause. And that careless glance, noticed,
was limited to an inspection of the rumpled
section of blue stocking and the low shoe
that were exposed by the attitude in
which she fell. 1 wondered how much
longer the glance would have been

group. The other was almost exactly over
head in the mezzanine gallery. Up there
were two men and one woman. They were
in hilarious mood. and the young woman,
rather handsomely dressed. by the way, was
pretending to try to throw herself over the
rail into the arms of half dozen young
men who stood below. 1 take back that

the academy, were the old fools whose folly
is silly in proportion to the badness of their
heads and the whiteness of their whiskers
The young woman had got SO far in throw
ing herself over as to put one foot over the
rail. Then she was grasped by one of her
companions. who held Oh, frantically ex-
claiming: Eve can't let her go; she's too
precious!' There was some cheap raillery
passed between the men on the floor and
those in the gallery. when the second man
in the group above leaned forward and
touched just the tip of his finger to the
young woman's ankle on the rail. Every
body laughed, and the three withdrew into
their box. As passed on l noticed that
the PROSTATE woman under the gallery was
just coming feebly and painfully to her
senses.

Ever since Minister Manning's little

desire among some of the scientific men of

one of the party made his appearance. He
looked father the worse for wear, and ex-
planned his looks by telling the truth about
the experiment. He said the others were
unable to put i'll an appearance and added:
AS for myself, the time since Friday at

Photographlng Flying Gulls.


An example of the speed with which
pictures can now be produced is afforded by
photograph of number Of flying gulls

MI Mallin. OF course animals in far more
rapid movement have been photographed by
Mr.. Muybrldge in America and NJ. Marcy
in France, but these are produced by special
apparatus, and rarely give much more than
silhouette of the object photographed.
The picture of the gulls was taken under
ordinary conditions. and with ordinary APP

One Of the Plucl1iest Acts of the
War.

zone incident in Benjamin s military
service during the war ought not to
90 unrecorded," said an artillery Of
fcer who was speaking Of the late
Colonel S. N. Benjamin, Assistant
Adiutant General, U. S. A. "When
General Burnside went West with the
Ninth Army Corps, as chief OF artillery,
we had terrible time at Knoxville.
When Longstreet's corps triedto cap
ture Fort Sanders we were put to the
utmost test of our resources to drive
them off. During that fight BENJAMIN
did one of the pluCkiest and most gal
liant things on record. In Fort Sand
ers there was q lot of shells for the
use of mortars. How they came
to be there l do not know, but
there they were. Foreseeing the
assault, Benjamin had piled
them at the point against which the
attack would probably be directed.
He had been ill-in fact, had not re-
covered from severe bullet wound in
his neck, which barely missed the Jug
ular, received in July, 1868. When
the attack on Fort Sanders began
BENJAMIN, with two men from his old
battery, took his position by a pile of
these shells. AS LOngstreet's veterans
charged right up the foot OF the para
pet, Benjamin, who was smoking a
cigar, had one shell after another
placed so it would roll down the para
pet right among Longstreet's men.
As they came nearer and nearer, until
they were within half-pistol shot, he
calmly touched the fuse with his light
ed cigar, the two men gave the shell a
roll ,as though it was ten-pin ball, and
away it went, right into the mass OF
Longstreet' s columns! At first they did
not seem to notice what he was doing,
but as he continued to light
these shells and roll them down they
dropped on to the thing and Isuppose
a hundred shots were fired at HIM.
Why he was not riddled, at that dis
tance, | never could see. He had one
of the narrowest escapes on record.
He told me afterward that he really
expected every moment would end
| him, but he stayed until the last shell
was rolled down" "Did they do much
damage?" | inquired. "As to that,
| scarcely know. They came as near
stampeding Longstreet's men as any,
| thing could come to disturb that
tough old fighter die-hards, for better
and steadier troops | never struck.
The men in the immediate vicinity OF
the shells laid down, and, as they
could see them coming, they avoided
them pretty successfully. But the
main incident was Benjamin's cool,
calm courage. tell you the men did
cheer him, when they took in what he
was doing, and became aware that he
had disobeyed the orders of the sur.
geon, and all to take hand in the
fight. The moral effect of his conduct
was the main thing, and it was cir.
cumstance that none Of those who
saw it will ever forget"

Obscure Heroes and HerOinesD

From the Family Herald.
We have them all around us, these
obscure heroes and heroines, and on
Iy those who go behind the scenes and
see the secret life of our swarmingpop-
ulations can tell the truth about the
flower of our race. We will leave the
didactic path in which we mostly trav-
pl and speak for little Of bare facts.
We wish to show those who faint by
the way that there are bright eX-
amples among us Of priceless souls
who are content to live and toll and
die obscure. Look at this first pic
ture. and be sure that it is the truth
hard, ridgid truth, soberly accurate
as an etching OF Rembrandt. You
pass through hideous London
slum; the oil lamps flare and
flicker in the wind; the hoarse
hawkers shrek, the ragged children
cry shrilly, and from the public houses
come the confused babble of laughter
and cursing and the rank waits OF
acrid smoke. Blowzy women, drag
yled women, brazen women, drunken
women, pass you; ugly male nightblrds
scowl at you with savage eyes; toul-
mouthed young girls-mere children,
alas!-salute you with impudent con-
fidence, and the night is full OF rank
odors and bleared lights. You enter
a narrow alley, watching carefully the
mannuvres OF the skulking creatures
who SLOUGH around with bumped
shoulders and evil gaze. A door
opens and you are in the midst OF q
strange assemblage. A bevy OF women
gather around some long tables and
watch YOU with dull curiosity. Here
is one who is pinched with hunger; her
thin fingers are knotty at the joints,
herhair is wofully scanty, and she looks
beaten, bloodless, ,sorrowful. Here Is q
boldcreature who meets your look with
hard, brutal stare; she has heard the
chimes at midnight. Here is specl-
men OF the ordinary, dirty, garrulous
troIlop, so freely produced In the will
derness of London. Here is mere
female animal. q creature without,
soul, who sits callously glowering at
vacancy. A coarse laugh sounds out
harshly and then a quiet voice with
the tone of mellow bell scars along
the low room, and instantly the dlsor-
der is stilled. You move to the head
of the room and you are greeted by q
white-haired woman dressed IN black.
Her eye is like steel, her lips are COM
posed, her forehead is very placid, and
her manners are the manners OF q
great lady. She is fit to move in any
assembly in the world, and her digni.
